This bill proposes to amend the Code of West Virginia by adding a new section, 20-2-46n, which allows youth hunters and holders of a Class Q special hunting permit to take one antlered deer during the "Special Youth Deer Season." This special season is established by the Natural Resources Commission and is governed by existing regulations. Any antlered deer taken during this period will count towards the regular firearms deer hunting season bag limit.

Additionally, the bill specifies that holders of a class XS license will not be permitted to take an antlered deer under the privileges of the "Special Youth Deer Season." The overall aim of the bill is to expand hunting opportunities for youth and Class Q permit holders while maintaining existing regulations for other license holders.
